As an academic, I'm blessed to have the opportunity to go and see places whenever I present papers in conferences. Whenever I go abroad for such purpose, I always make sure that I check out the place, albeit the time is short, to ensure that I bring back something with me. No, I'm not talking about souvenir items. I'm talking about the memories I make which help me in my teaching. Sometimes it's a book I bring back home or photos and stories of places my students need to learn about in the courses I teach.

A Huffington Post writer once wrote about five reasons why people should be travelling. He cites the following as why travelling is the best education: learn new languages, explore cultural differences, discover cultural similarities, unearth history, and gain independence. My travels have indeed proved that the above-cited reasons are all worth the miles I've done.

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson
